Challenge!

Challenge!
I have a small lime tree in my garden. Every summer it gets attacked by caterpillars (あおむし). It`s really annoying! Nowadays, every morning I check the leaves for eggs & caterpillars, & remove them. It`s a hassle (= めんどくさい).

Anyway, can you guess the type of butterfly which is responsible?

UPDATE: The answer is number 3: The Common Yellow Swallowtial.

Is it an Orchard Butterfly? It is a beautiful big butterfly, mainly black with red, a bit like the wooden one you made. Mum

No, not an orchard butterfly mum. I`m not sure we have them here - I think the big black ones around here are a bit different to the ones in Australia.
